baseball from 1954-1966. He was known as being the most prolific pinch hitter in Major League Baseball at that time.
He played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds. View the Exhibits: Blog Articles WP had one of the largest fish companies in Michigan
at the time. WP had a big fishery at AuGres. Jr. and I would often ride up to AuGres
on one of the fish boats and stay at the fish house for a few days. Among other entertainments Jr. and I loved
to watch the tour boat unload passengers up at Point Lookout, which was an elegant resort with beautiful homes
on the northern tip of the bay. There was a pleasure boat that took people from Wenona
Beach near Bay City to Point Lookout to visit friends in their "cottages" rather than tour
shops, cafes, etc. Museum
